Vanquish

Take an inch of my soul day by day
Tell me it will heal when all I feel is pain
I’ve been hanging onto every word you say
This gives me hope so you can then take it away
The inconsistent logic seems so typical
Tell me I’m insane
If I could strip myself of your disinformation
And let this go
When you realize time’s against you it’s too late
With the worlds opposition tempting your fate
You know you’re not the only one to wish me death
Your edifice destroyed with just one breath
Where I exclaimed the word that seemed too cynical
Frame me the profane
So they can shake themselves awake from incantations
And loose control
The secret breached with just one sound
Recant the lie you once espoused
A vanquished truth once built to last
Disclosed only upon the face unmasked
Who knew wars fought against us were subliminal
Learn to walk away
When you’re ready to break these chains
And quit grasping for safety
Just let me know
Even if I don’t come for you now
I’ll end up face to face with you somehow
One of us won’t leave this room alive
I’ll see you bear the wounds I hold inside
At what point do our own thoughts become criminal
There’s nothing left to say
If you can’t seem to reason with
Being free to keep this feeling
You’ve sold your soul

So let this be the statement of our time
I am the bridge between you and realms unseen to eyes
Beyond the confines of stagnant self perception
I dwell in shadows of agony and mire
Beckon the hand to return me from the fire
Dragging down the titans of my preconception
The rate of change that has no end
Take a look within and alter again
Relinquish every principle I fault
I test my strength against his jaw
Now that’s a cross to bear
The sacred age of play pretend
Baiting for the sharks you call your friends
Distinguished in a sense that you’re more lost
Than anyone that takes your heart
It’s your flesh to share
Omit the shrine
Callous is my heart
Cold as the soul-forsaken
Enshroud the eyes
Ripped the fuck apart
Never again be taken
By occulted signals in between
The fabric of reality
And childish dreams
Nothing’s real to me
I shit you not
You give me empty faith of false design
Nihilistic visions that you prophesied to me
Worlds enflamed
Destruction unquantified
Artificial intelligence has engineered your mind
I might think that your free will is a self construct
A manifestation of what religious institutions imparted on you
I want to live
l just want to live without conforming to the media
You can tell me that our freedom isn’t paramount
Your words serve to deescalate each dialogue where the truth is found
What more can I give when sensibility was never enough?
I know that you are well intentioned
But I can see fear stricken in your eyes
Never try again
Distaste that undermines ascension
Let’s say everything has a reason
How about the hate you hope subsides
When it never can
Deciphering symbols within
Unveil the path where we begin
To discover the light where you feel safe
The silence keeps you holding on
To apathy when all is lost
Now syphoning your life away
Deciphering symbols within
Unveil the path where we begin
Discovering the light that keeps you safe
The silence keeps you holding on
To apathy when all is lost
Now syphoning your life away
So let this be the statement of our time
I am the bridge between you and realms unseen to eyes
Beyond the confines of stagnant self perception
Yeah

I spit gold into the well
You drank filth until you fell
Your eyes vague and cold as hell
Your soul so blemished you can't sell
Unified with emptiness
I manifest the artificial planet
You interface
My creation
Within a shared synthetic dream
Buried beneath this deep
Far as your eyes can see
Walls adorned with blades
Believe your weapons keep you safe
You'll never shield yourself from fate
Nor the hell I can create
Alignment with abundance
Will bring every weapon I conceive
You will displace
Whats imminent
Within this shared synthetic dream
Buried beneath this deep
Far as the eye can see
How satisfied
Will your eyes be when enshrined
In artificial moonlight?
Waste my own life
In my enemies disguise
Enslaved behind the eyes
Two souls entwined
Bound by simulated eyesight
And worlds we sacrifice
How satisfied
Will my eyes be when enshrined
In artificial moonlight?
Never comply
Awaiting false reply
No purpose found inside
I spit gold into the well
You drank filth until you fell
Your eyes vague and cold as hell
Your soul so blemished you can't sell
Unified with emptiness
I manifest the artificial planet
You interface
My creation
Within a shared synthetic dream
Buried beneath this deep
Far as your eyes can see
Can see

Deep down within
The wraith brumates
And wears your skin
Harvesting your fear and hatred
So here’s where we begin
To vanquish dismay
Sink or swim
In the currents eroding your mind insane
Exalt my name
The shadows emit
In agony and vain resistance
No matter how far away
Like you
I take this path entwined
With infernal howls and abstract design
Where the light appears to fade
Exhume the heart that’s torn
You spoke like you were chosen for this
Is there no cause that you’d die for?
Because your tombstone reads like a hieroglyph
The somber air of a burial ground
Where the ether is charged
With a sensation of your impending death
And this is how your meaning was found
By calculating the price of the soul bartered and bet
I bet you wish you had kept
Because these shadows never sleep
Until the knife turns in your chest like a lock and key
The woven web of pre-destiny
The architect preys upon the devotion you bleed
All encompassing
The joy that our hometown intends to bring
Christening
“Summoned again”
The voices in the wall
Reminding us to mourn for who we are
Culpable
Degenerate
My friends will meet tonight
The psilocybin shaman turns his eye
Following
I light my cigarette
I begin to feel the tension manifesting
Alive and breathing
This world
Consuming us all
By the mercy of
The starlight and the trees
Above me and beneath this
Rivers reflection
Consuming us all
By the mercy of
The starlight and the trees
Above me and beneath this
Rivers reflection
All encompassing
The joy that our hometown intends to bring
Christening
“Summoned again”
The voices in the wall
Reminding us to mourn for who we are
Culpable
Degenerate
Drop dead gorgeous and holographic
Hopeful yet tragic
Wonderland without
This rage subverting me
May Saturn oversee
Dissociation from
These impartial memories

You could role like a pig in filth all day
Mouth writing checks like you got hell to pay
And if you can’t meet me at a buck fifty five
I’ll still watch the life drain right from your eyes
I own too much to mind anything you say
But too much damn pride to just walk away
Too much bad blood these fists still need to feel
And too much clout for you bitches not to kneel
Wrong turn south
For the soul you traded away
There’s no price tag
In this Sacrificial cult
Only way out
Is through the lives we take
In a body bag
Make em burn, make em bleed, make em pray for death
Depending on the season
You couldn’t stop the reckoning I bring
Even if you found the reason
My hounds of hell live on unchained
For nothing else than to watch you break
So close your tab and run your ass home
We won’t cease fire until we breath smoke
Wrong turn south
For the soul you traded away
There’s no price tag
In this Sacrificial cult
Only way out
Is through the lives we take
In a body bag
Allegiance to crucification
Tinge your ashes red with rage
The frequencies enshroud you in the flame
Burn
Bitch
Burn
Burn bitch
I’ll peer through the eyes
To watch the light dull from inside of you
Listen for the life mute in the cries
To assuage the hope that has kept you blind
Now entombed
No empathy when you force my hand
Around the neck to smite the cult where they stand
Where cadavers fall wait for the drop
Buried far beneath may you be forgot
I could be singing a different tune
If my friends weren’t manipulated by you
You manufactured the thoughts we keep
Now I activate them only to watch you bleed
Reclaim the web
Reframe the waste
Refrain always
Retain our way
Reframe
Got a lot of shit that I don’t need
Still got the appetite to watch you bleed
Too much bad blood these fists still need to feel
And too much clout for you bitches not to kneel
Wrong turn south
For the soul you traded away
There’s no price tag
In this Sacrificial cult
Only way out
Is through the lives we take
In a body bag

Bring the war to me
I spit on the throne of gods
Who shed blood before my feet
A sight for trenchant eyes
That cherish your defeat
The purveyor of lies
Who swore that I’d be fine
I let you go
From realms beneath in this
Psychological war machine
A mind of self destruct inscription
The worlds glory lost on me in a
Web of silence weaved within
You then made
Your remark
Surrender because
Nothing will change
Your defiance isn’t strength
Authenticity is fake
We’re free when we’re enslaved
Silent cult
Chemical
Dehumanize
Everyone with this
Sense of worship we displace
No identity no face
Imprisoned if awake
They’ll kill us all
If we don’t congregate and take this back
The technocracy attempting to redesign the culture and collective
Into something no longer recognizable
Every institution lied to us in the interest of compelling us to perform tasks
that strengthen their objective
Your compliance breeds culpability
Who’s the fascist now mother fucker
You then made
Your remark
Surrender because
Nothing will change
Your defiance isn’t strength
Authenticity is fake
We’re free when we’re enslaved
Silent cult
Chemical
Dehumanize
Everyone with this
Sense of worship we displace
No identity no face
Imprisoned if awake
In waves the fires pass (simulacra)
Untold milleniums (simulacra)
We parallel at last (simulacra)
Refined simulacrum
Simulacra dies
A drop in the ocean
Of consciousness
Please don’t go
Forever alone
Where ideologies ensue
Like you’re fresh out California
Imagination taken from within you
Because
We aim to fire
These shots for fun
And speak like we don’t give a fuck
We’re the rabid dogs you muzzled with
Mandates you bestowed upon us
That’s right
You then made
Your remark
Surrender because
Nothing will change
Your defiance isn’t strength
Authenticity is fake
We’re free when we’re enslaved
Silent cult
Chemical
Dehumanize
Everyone with this
Sense of worship we displace
No identity no face
Imprisoned if awake

Now I’ll demonstrate an impact like never seen
You won’t contend stripped of these notions of sovereignty
By forces within me that brought you to your knees
When confronted with the truth of which I speak
Your mind and heart finally meet
To what do I owe this sojourn of deceit?
Let’s say you’ve come to see what colors you bleed
Because what’s inside of you seems obscure to me
Embedded scripts in fragments of
This code; does it feel like home enough?
The archon speaks in deja vu:
Summits I’ve reached to get through to you.
The throne once fraught with war I’ll create
But the crown fits like it’s all the same
I am the one alpha and omega
You are a casualty in my simulation
And every time you turn you face towards the sun
You’ll speak my name knowing my reign has only begun
Your mind a mere extension of me
A limb to which my intentions breed
Motive for you and control for me
I am the cause you live and breath
Embedded scripts in fragments of
This code; does it feel like home enough?
The archon speaks in deja vu:
Summits I’ve reached to get through to you.
The throne once fraught with war I’ll create
But the crown fits like it’s all the same
Enshrined
Is your pledge unto my Armageddon
These eyes
Foresee the famine impending
Fuck
Your mind a mere extension of me
A limb to which my intentions breed
These eyes foresee your offerings
You shall rise in the echelons of my dynasty
Embedded scripts in fragments of
This code; does it feel like home enough?
The archon speaks in deja vu:
Summits I’ve reached to get through to you.
The throne once fraught with war I’ll create
But the crown fits like it’s all the same
Now I’ll demonstrate an impact like never seen
You won’t contend stripped of these notions of sovereignty
By forces within me that brought you to your knees
When confronted with the truth of which I speak

Lost Deep

Inside you shake
Inside you rivers open and take shape
Behind your face
It rains until impulse can’t be contained
How long you stay
A testament to what drives me insane
Lost in your taste
Deep down where all of you is mine to take
Deep in the wake
The oceans take you to your sacred place
And here you’re safe
Where none of your inhibitions remain
How long you stay
A testament to what drives me insane
Lost in your taste
Deep down where all of you is mine to take
I drive until the sirens start to fade
You rage until you can not feel your face
I see the depths of reason you won’t keep
That tarnish the only veil you can’t see
We’re disingenuous
Refuse to feel
No compromising
When truths are revealed
Truths colored and tinged
To preconceive
What’s real and spoken
As only a dream
Where symbols disintegrate
How long you stay
A testament to what drives me insane
Lost in your taste
Deep down where all of you is mine to take

All that’s left to say
I won’t let it be locked away in me
You hold no key to dissuade
When your truth escapes it’s only meaning
Watch this lie we live
Break like your hollow promises
I’m the one you think you know
As I traverse these alter egos
May the proletariat drink to this
In irony in agony
I swore to you that I would die for this
Now grab the gun
You’ll see no plea behind these eyes
I truly don’t give a fuck
Whether I live or die
My legacy remains
Dead or alive
Take me you’ll feed until your heart’s content
Parasite within bring forth the end
Where time stands still you’ll breed
And take control again
This two dimensioned cult
One side plays off your hatred one side takes hold
Of your self construct it seethes
And neither side ascends
With the hand you dealt
I bet you thought that you could have me sold
Have me sold
You push me to the edge
And spill the blood until no remnants are left
Because red looks good on you
Lift me up again
Take so I can give myself away
Something to hold on to
You pushed me to the edge
Pushed and pulled until no remnants were left
Red shrouds and soothes you
Lift me up again
Take so I can give myself away
There’s nothing to hold onto
Nothing to hold onto
Hearts built like motorcycle engines
Horizon light takes us
Hearts built like motorcycle engines
Lie heavy light breaks us

Your counterfeit smile
Skin like paper
Ghost encoded
Slave by nature
Nothing’s enough for you
Nothing’s sacred here
Endless angles
The stars above breath
Correspondence
Meaningless dreams
You seem to take control
When nothing’s within reach
